I'm contemplating some fairly large changes these days - changing fields to something more artistic but even LESS lucrative than non-profit research administration; going a completely opposite direction and getting into communications research and PR; moving back to MN.
But I haven't yet mustered up the courage to really commit to any of these things, and I admire those of you who have. Life is too damned short to not live it on your own terms.
Damn, I need to crawl out of my own head and get to business. What am I wasting time for? I used to be full of big ideas and I'd tackle them with abandon, and they all turned out okay.
Sorry for the navel-gazing.
GSRIDER, the closest I've come to an unexpected life change is all of those "big ideas" I talked about - getting a dog, throwing a family reunion of sorts, remodeling the house. Things that I really wanted but that don't seem like such a safe idea but the hell with that, I did them anyhow and they all turned out fine. Wonderful even. Don't second-guess yourself into staying safe and bored shitless.
